Sheldon Shrimp (shu-) just climbed the Eiffel tower (-ei3). He's really thirsty, so he's glad to find a water fountain (水). After he quenches his thirst, he also finds a snack: A banana (丿) is swimming in the water. He never ate a banana before, so he tries a mix of different methods: Putting on a fake beak (㇇) to pick on the banana, holding it with a finger (㇏) and peeling it with a crowbar (亅).

Other cultures, other manners

There's a lot of information in this picture. Let's start with the new protagonist, Sheldon Shrimp: He resembles the pronunciation start "shu-", such as in "shui" (Pinyin). We've seen the Eiffel tower before (do you remember where?), but not this location, inside the Eiffel tower, which resembles the pronunciation ending "-ei3".

There's also a new character component: "㇇", the beak. It doesn't have a meaning on its own, but serves as component for a few characters. Just like the finger we've seen before.
